This happened in the state of Karnataka, ruled by Congress, which is the opposition in the center.

So whoever is blaming Modi for this crime, has no idea how the Indian political system is structured, nor do they know how the Law and Order is the responsibility of the state, or despite knowing all that they are either feigning ignorance or spreading false propaganda.

Such lynchings have happened in India across states ruled by different political parties.

If you really want to find a solution to this problem, tone down your politics based hatred (at least on HN), and hold the respective state govts responsible for such law and order issues.

Cow lynchings, political lynchings, WhatsApp lynchings - many have direct connection with Hindutva organisations. Recently we had an RSS minister openly felicitating convicts of a cow lynching. That is the state of democracy in India. State governments are virtually powerless under Modi’s Raj.

Here is an up to date chronology of lynchings under Modi https://www.thequint.com/quintlab/lynching-in-india/

Let us stand firm against hatred in the name of religion and race. Stand for democracy - stand against authoritarianism.

Why not have the count since 1947 to know if the "number of REPORTED LYNCHINGS" are going up or down?

either way, this thread is not going anywhere. I'm out of this conversation, since IMO HN is not the right place.
